My Dream
Full time employment: Posting here.
At the moment we have 125, C9, 7 watt Christmas lights alternating red/blue spanning 125'. 125 x 7 = 875 watts and since we're on time of use hydro, it's costing us around $50.00 per year plus replacement bulbs to light these suckers up during Christmas time. It's time to look into LED C9 bulbs. I've heard:
on some, if one goes out they all go out
if the resister in the center of the string goes out half the line goes out
you can replace the led in the faceted type led's
they sell retrofit C9 led's to fit into your existing incandescent string and work.
led C9's are much less bright then the regular C9's.
they sell colour changing led's
and the list goes on.
What gives with all these choices.....any idea what my options truly are and what you would would suggest?
